Serge Voronoff was a French surgeon who gained fame for his technique of grafting monkey testicle tissue on to the testicles of men. Voronoff's monkey-gland treatment was in vogue in the 1920s.

One poet described it as a "famous doctor who inserts monkey glands in millionaires" The technique brought him a great deal of money. As his work fell out of favor, he went from being highly respected to a subject of ridicule.

Interesting stuff, Joy.

Edit: Just read the article. The procedure was done in hopes of retarding the aging process. Leave it to a man, to think everything revolves around the !
